LOCAL AND GLOBAL CONNECTIVITY AND DELAY EFFECTS OF NETWORKED CONTROL

As V2X communication becomes more prevalent, understanding how network connectivity and communication delays affect the stability of control systems is crucial. This research investigates the interplay between local and global connectivity patterns and time delays in networked control systems, providing insights into the design of robust control strategies for autonomous vehicles and distributed robotics.

NANOSCALE TRIBOLOGY & CHIP RELIABILITY

Conducted collaborative research and future project negotiations at Tsinghua University’s State Key Laboratory of Tribology. Explored atomic-level material removal (molecular dynamics), particle mechanics (abrasive, adhesive, and erosive wear), nanoscale friction, and interface behaviors under electric fields.

DESTABILIZING EFFECTS OF SLIDING FRICTION ON OSCILLATORS: A BIFURCATION AND ENERGETIC ANALYSIS

Analyzed how sliding friction can inject energy into mechanical systems, causing self sustained oscillations, and identified consistent bifurcation patterns that distinguish global from local stability regimes.

NETWORKED CONTROL & HETEROGENEOUS MIXED TRAFFIC

Spent 2 weeks at NUAA focusing on networked control and decompositions of heterogeneous mixed traffic in real highway vehicle platoons.

THE ROLE OF CONNECTIVITY AND DELAY IN FORMATION CONTROL

In collaboration with NUAA (China), this research analyzed the stability of formation control systems under delayed feedback and network connectivity. The study extended classical stability analysis using Laplacian connectivity eigenvalues and time-delayed control terms, revealing nuanced stability conditions for UAV formations.

AEROELASTIC VIBRATIONS OF WIND TURBINES

Conducted a 1-month research project at Tongji University (Shanghai) focusing on aeroelastic vibrations of wind turbines, developing simplified models and conducting numerical vibration analysis.

MODELLING OF PORPOISING IN FORMULA 1 CARS AND SUPPRESSION TECHNIQUES

This research developed a reduced-order nonlinear model to capture porpoising vibrations in race cars. The project involved advanced aerodynamic model reduction techniques and was conducted in collaboration with an international researcher.

DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF PLATOONING MODELS WITH TIME-DELAY

In my BSc thesis, we investigated nonlinear car-following models with time-delay and control functions. Simulations of traffic and flocking behavior were conducted to analyze the effects of delay on system dynamics.
